      I was thinking about a Casioak, but I thought it was too big for my wrist. I got a DW-5600E, and then heard that the Casioak is about the same size, and I don’t mind the size of the 5600 at all, so now I MUST get the Casioak.

    Nice review, pointing out all the features and i think you made the right choice, i know the yellow one is all the rage now but can't shake that feeling that it looks like a cheap toy while this one is much slicker and the red accent is just that cherry on top.

  • @Zanzibar2Far

    The yellow runs this close, but I reckon this is No.1; love the red hand on the subdial and 'Tough Solar' in gold, gives a retro feel.

    I have this same watch, best choice of colour and accents are subtle (but add a pop of colour). The most comfortable watch I've owned - only negative was the initial set up being a little long winded and the difficulty of reading the small lettering. The app does make things easier in day to day use though.

    I like the Caution Yellow model myself, basically black with yellow accents. The dial effect is pretty much a sunburst, for me the watch's most attractive feature, Tough Solar & Bluetooth make this a very practical option and replace the resin case and strap with the gen 4 SKXMod black PVD case/bracelet and you have yourself a really decent and reliably accurate watch that fits any situation.

    My favorite watch I have from gshock is actually my mustard yellow ga2100 the original first run exclusive to Japan. The color is simply fantastic. I think it’s the only one I have that’s actually made in Japan and the it feels quite different than wearing the other ga2100’s made elsewhere for some reason. The quality of materials is just better

In the morning i checked the indicator is not changing, even when connected to phone, it still showing 2 bars.
    Is that normal, since I’ve seen videos that it’s showing in “H”

    Amazing how the instructions that come with the watch don’t mention the App you should download to your phone to exploit the Bluetooth features of the watch. Once I saw a UA-cam video on the App I was all set, especially the auto time phone sync

    The only thing I worry about this version with Bluetooth is if the companion app gets discontinued.

      There is an unofficial open-source app called CasioGShockSmartSync

      It won't get discontinued since it is single App for all Casio watches

      It will only get upgraded. Casio isn’t going anywhere.
